...benefit of those who may wish to make use of our communication column, we wish to say again as in past years, that no communication will be considered in this office without the accompanying signature of the writer, although his name may be withheld from the public if desired. We would also ask future contributors to make a point of seeing the president or managing editor in regard to their effusions. Much misunderstanding may thus be avoided...
...longest of the tales and the most ambitious is "Little Anne" by C. S. Harper 3S. The characters in the story are very distinct and each one personally interesting. This writer understands the use of pathos, which figures largely in his second story, "Number Two Seventeen," the sad history of a convict and his too-long delayed pardon...
...Mackeigan's Last Hope" by R. P. Bellows '99, is skilfully written and interesting in plot. The writer leaves the ordinary path of the college story and strikes out in a road of his own. The tale is perhaps best described as a character sketch in which the main figure is shown under varying conditions.

The effect of this style is good and places the sketch above the ordinary run of college stories...

Aside from the pictures and the editorial the number contains nothing worthy of special note unless the short conversation, "Lispings of Little Lew," has claims because of its simplicity...
...Rise of Chesser," by C. S. Harper 1901, is the only real story of the number and is well worth reading. It tells of a young lawyer in New York who marries a silly pink-shirted type-writer before he comes to be the great Chesser and is sorry that he has done so afterwards. The other sketches are "Through the Storm" by J. A. Macy '99, a timely "Recollection of a Sea Fight" by G. D. Marvin '99, and "Blessed are the Poor" by A. G. Fuller 1900. This last tells prettily of a poor man's proposal...
